Nondisp fx of less trochanter of l femr, 7thK

This code describes a fracture of the smaller bony prominence on the upper part of the left thigh bone (femur) that has not shifted out of alignment. The fracture is not healing as expected, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care or treatment related to this ongoing nonunion, without an open wound.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced lesser trochanter fracture of the left femur is seen for management of a nonunion. This includes visits for cast changes, imaging to assess healing progress, or preparation for surgical intervention due to the nonunion, provided the skin remains intact over the fracture site.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced," "lesser trochanter," "left femur," and "nonunion."
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for this specific fracture and nonunion would use a different code.
• Confirm the fracture is closed (no open wound) as indicated by "closed fracture."
